A convertible work bench to hand truck apparatus including a table that has a top surface, a bottom surface, and a pair of long edges with short edges therebetween. One of the short edges of the table has a projection extending above its top surface. The back surface of the table has a plurality of large support brackets, a plurality of small support brackets, a plurality of leg retainers and a pair of triangular handles attached thereto. Each support bracket and each leg retainer is attached to the bottom surface of the table. Also, included is a plurality of legs. Each leg has a foot end and a connecting end that is rotatably coupled with one of each support brackets of the table. The plurality of legs form a first support leg and a second support leg when a support bar connects a parallel pair of the plurality of legs. Each support leg supports the table above a receiving surface. Lastly, a pair of wheels are mounted to the bottom surface by a rigid bracket.
